Thanks, everyone!

Beautiful bird well photographed! I didn't remember seeing the purple finch around Portland, so I looked it up and saw that in oregon is lives further south! Ah well, I get to enjoy it through your photo instead.

I'd love to have this in my group 'my favorite animals' - if you want.

[And thanks for linking to both version of 'free as a bird'. The video is one of my all time favorites. I remember being happy when I had it in the house and could pause it to catch all the great images that were there as well as play it through lots.]

So glad you can enjoy this pair, Laura. They really are so pretty. I've added it to your group. Thanks so much. :)

Perfectly captured, composed and framed.
Stunning photograph. Best wishes, Anton.

Thanks, Anton!

Gorgeous plumage on this bird.
